Hello all, I'm having a tough time pin pointing the ugly noise coming from my fresh TR4a engine and hoping you can help! I totally rebuilt this engine with new or reworked EVERYTHING, so maybe I got

I hear a very loose (or possibly sticking) valve, plus another not quite so loose, plus an exhaust leak. Did you by any chance replace the valve guides with phosphor-bronze ? Did you know they have

I hear what sounds like valve train noise from excessive valve clearance, as well an exhaust leak. Standing out from that general noise are two distinct ticks, which could be an exhaust leak at the m

Someone else suggested no oil to the top end. That's a good suggestion. If you installed new cam bearings, and had a local shop do it who is not familiar with TR's, they may have misaligned the rear

If the bearing is misaligned, I am told there are alternatives to an entire rebuild: one can bypass the bearing with an external feed or pull the camshaft forward marginally and drill a new hole thro

Brian, It sure is an odd noise. Almost sounds like a waste gate on a turbo! Could it be an exhaust leak at the manifold? Does it seem louder there than elsewhate? -Tony ________________original messa

Remove the valve cover and run it. A lot will be revealed. I would not redrill the hole in the cam bearing with an assembled engine. You are creating metal filings over which you have no control. But

It's a good point, but when you push the camshaft back in place, the filings should be contained. _____ Remove the valve cover and run it. A lot will be revealed. I would not redrill the hole in the

Could you not rig a hard tube to a powerful vacuum cleaner and push that through to the bearing in question and suck the filings out? Assuming you are pulling the camshaft that is. __________________

True, but they aren't hard metal. And coating the flutes of the drill with grease (plus frequent cleaning) will trap most of them. The rest should wind up in the oil filter. At any rate, I did it (w
